# FHIR **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Domain:** Health Informatics / Interoperability **Doc Type:** Technical Standard Node **Maturity:** Deployed and Evolving **Related:** [[wiki/DICOM|DICOM]], [[wiki/Neural Data Provenance|Neural Data Provenance]], [[wiki/BCI Metadata|BCI Metadata]], [[wiki/Protocol for Interconnection|Protocol for Interconnection]] --- ## Definition **FHIR**, or **Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources**, is a standard for exchanging clinical and administrative health information through defined resources and interfaces. ## Neural-Interface Context FHIR forms part of the clinical boundary around neural-interface data. It can connect devices, observations, imaging references, procedures, identities, and care context to broader health records, while specialized neurophysiology and imaging formats preserve domain-specific detail. ## Relationships <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> This entry is routed through [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]].
